KELA informs: Lower healthcare fee for students in higher education in 2025 – pay as soon as possible
The healthcare fee for students in higher education has been confirmed for 2025. The total fee is EUR 71.20, or EUR 35.60 for each term, which is slightly lower than last year. In 2024, the healthcare fee was EUR 36.80 per term. You can pay the fee now in OmaKela (available in Finnish and Swedish only).
The due date for the spring term healthcare fee is 15 March for students who register as attending by 31 January. For students who register as attending on or after 1 February, the due date is 31 July. The due date for the autumn term healthcare fee is 15 November. You can pay the healthcare fee either just for the spring term or for the entire year at once.
You do not need to pay the healthcare fee if you have social security coverage from another EU/EEA country, Switzerland or the United Kingdom.
